R200 Typ 40 total around 4700 been made.( only 2 wheel steering. ) Body Style: Open body with 4 door, 3 door, 3, 4seat.There were some models which differed on the rear door and rear body and locations of the spare tire mount. The we here was a 3 door radio model. Construction: Steel open body,3 door or 4 door, with ladder type steel chassis. Engine: Water cooled 4 cylinder, OHV dry sump motor a)1757cc 42hp,b)1991cc 50hp,c)1997cc 50hp,d) 6 cylinder 1957cc 50hp,e) Mercedes G5 got a 2006cc side valve 4 cylinder engine 45hp.

Max speed: 80 Km/h,4 wheel steering for off road use only. ( all early BMW, Hanomag got Stoewer R180 engine with 1757cc got 75km/h on the road but I believe all Kfz Pkw model speed over 90km/h. ) History: The German successes at the beginning of WWII, was largely due to their tactic of " Blitzkrieg " and demonstrated not only the effectiveness of the mechanization, but also the importance of deploying innovative modern military transport vehicles. After WWI the first light car use by the Reichswehf was the Dixi 3/15 ps., which was the British Austin Seven. Produced under license by Dixi, of Eisenach. In 1929 Dixi was absorbed by BMW and the car was continued under the BMW name until 1931. In the early 30s, army transport decided that the car with a 1.5L engine will be the light car, (Pkw) The wehrmacht specified large numbers of personnel carriers, constructed on light medium and heavy motor car chassis. Most were available with a civilian rear wheel drive only and the performance was not great. Then in 1935 Stoewer, a very early German auto maker, building cars since 1899, (This Co Total production was about 40000 vehicle from 1899-1945,about 190 Vehicle are know to exist today.) designed a prototype 4x4x4. This "super modern" cross country vehicle had a high performance and possessed an incredible off road chassis, way ahead of its time, resembling modern specifications not found on vehicles until today.This Deutsche Personenkraftwagen (Einheits-Personenkraftwagen Der Leichte Einheits-Pkw). In 1936 Stoewer manufactured the R180 special, but the company was not big enough for the mass production required and BMW ( a motor cycle and light car maker ) plus Hanomag ( a locomotive and heavy tractor, semi track maker ) joined in production of the same car between 1937-1940. This is similar to the how Willys MB and Ford GPW were manufacturing the jeep at same time in the early 40's. This was also one of the most interesting and mordern vehicles before World War II and use at WWII. The Germany Army knew how an advanced heavy duty multi-purpose off road truck would be instrumental in providing an advantage in the coming battles and another example of their innovation was the BMW R 75 motorcycles, some with side car KS 750, with a 3x2 shaft-drive powering the side car wheel also. They produced many 4 wheeled to 6 wheeled off road trucks, from 1/4 ton to 6.5 tons and Semitracks from 11/2 ton Kettenkraftrad HK 101 to 18 ton-capacity Sd.Kfz.9 As the Nazi war machine continued a military build up, many good designs were funded and many innovative prototypes were developed. If they proved themselves under testing they would go into full production with a big car maker. In the end of 1936, Honamog, BMW and Stoewer got the order to build an incredible advanced high performance 1/2 ton off road small 4x4 vehicle. With a H type steel chassis, front 1.8-2.0L OHV dry sump engine, 5 speed ZF gear box, full time 4 wheel drive system, self locking middle differential at gear box, independent coils all around front and rear suspension, both front and rear axle with self locking Differentials, 4 wheel steering,( rear wheel steering for under 20km/h use or for off road only). A rear steering gearshaft between front two seat control the rear steering box On and Off. A steel open body, with a 3 door or 4 door design. The three manufacturers used the same parts to assemble these vehicles. All early model got a Stoewer R180 OHV motor. They appeared in every theatre of the war in North Africa, some went to the Eastern front and even at Russian They were widely used without any modifications, thus demonstrating the great adaptability and versatility of this vehicle. In the same time, Mercedes-PKW also built a similar type G5 (W152) with a side valve 45hp 2.0L 4 cylinder engine. ( It looks same as the Mercedes 170 engine but a little more powerful ). Chassis and suspension, gearbox all close to the specs of the Stoewer le.gl.E.Pkw Kfz 2, but single coil at each wheel. The Mercedes-Benz G5 is very interesting, as a military vehicle the Pkw Kubelwagen was mainly used by Germany's allies during WWII, Rumania, Hungary etc, the few that remained in Germany were usually privately bought and used by the German Fire Service or German Alpine Red Cross. As the G5 was not an official German military vehicle, but a private design by Mercedes, it was therefore sold to Germany's allies as there was a very limited choice of customers for privately designed German off road vehicles during war time. 378 have been made. This vehicle is very similar to the Stoewer R180/R200,Hanomag B20,BMW type 325.It was not a copy. This was the German army had ordered all car manufacturers in 1933 to design a "Einheits-Pkw mit Allradantrieb" , a Uniform cross country Passenger Car with all time 4WD system. All manufacturers had to follow identical blueprints and technical layout. At end of 2007 one G5 complete car needing a full restoration and rebuild. The complete rust car Asked over half million Euro. Meanwhile the USA army does not have any small all wheel drive vehicles until 1940, instead Bantam, Willys and Ford use a 4wd truck design to build a small GP. It uses 4 wheel leaf spring, 2 live axles, an H type ladder chassis, a 2L side valve engine and a 3 speed gear box with part time 4x4 system. We know this as the first US jeep. Willys and Ford build over 600,000 2.2L MB/GPW between 1942-45. Also some Dodge mid size 4x4 made between 1940-45 WC6/WC7/T202-VC1/T211-WC15 and WC56/WC57 base from a 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton Dodge 4x4 truck, front and rear with live axle, 4 wheel leaf spring . Today every people believe Jeep = small sturdy multi-purpose motor vehicle with four-wheel drive, can go any where. Than Jeep must be the Germany 1936 made Kfz R180, B20,BMW type 325 not US 1940 made Willys MA, Bantam MKII,1941 Bantam BRC or Ford GP. At 1941 Ford use a GP chassis to build a all time 4WDS jeep, Willys also build another 4WDS at 1945, But both unsuccessful, because all time 4WS system made the driving more difficult, when speed over 25KM/H, the car can not under control at road speed. The British army does not even have a small 4x4 during WWII, Instead they use a lot of 30s civilian 8-12hp front engine rear wheel drive light van chassis manufactured for military use by Morris 10 hp series M, Austin 10 hp series G/YG, Standard 12 hp series UV,10 hp series BC, Hillman 10 hpMKI, Vauxhall 14 hp series JI, Wolseley 18/85 hp series III, Humber Pullman ,Snipe, Ford WOA2A, Commer Beetle, Guy and Bedford. They all use a 4x2 light truck as the base of this army vehicle. Some just lift the suspensio n a little and fit over size off road tires on the light van. No performance off road vehicle until 1949, when they use a Willys jeep 2.2L engine chassis to put a Rover cars small 1.6L engine and put the steering in the middle and make a 3 seat 4x4. This was a copy of MB/GP jeep but with less power and only 3 seats, incredibly this was the first Land Rover prototype. The Soviet Union Army built the GAZ-67B between 42-53, a 4 cylinder 3.3L engine with 4 speed gear box, parts time 4wd system. 2 live axle, leaf springs, like a BM/GPW jeep. Over 600,000 have been made. Japan at end of the 1930s produced a Kurogane model 95 small tiny ( some people say "Black Medal") 4x4 with a twin cylinder V shape 1.4L air cooled motorcycle engine, 3 speed gear box, and a unreliable 4wd system.

  • The Porsche Type List
    The Porsche Type List When Professor Ferdinand Porsche started his business, the company established a numeric record of projects known as the Type List. As has been reported many times in the past, the list began with Type 7 so that Wanderer-Werke AG did not realize they were the company’s first customer. Of course, as a result, Porsche’s famous car, the 356 as defined on the Type List, was actually Porsche’s 350th design project. In reviewing the Porsche Type List enclosed on this website, you might notice several interesting aspects. First, although there is a strong chronological alignment of Type numbers, it is certainly not perfect. No official explanation exists as to why this occurs. It is possible that Type numbers were originally treated only as an informal configuration and data management tool and today’s rigorous examination of Porsche history is but an aberration of 20/20 hindsight. Secondly, you might also notice that there were variations on Type List numbers that were probably made rather spontaneously. For example, consider the Type 60 with its many “K” variations to designate different body styles. Also consider how the Type 356 was initially a tube frame chassis then changed to a sheet metal chassis with the annotation 356/2 but the /2 later reused to describe different body/engine offerings. Then there were the variants on the 356 annotated as 356 SL, 356A, 356B, and 356C designations and in parallel there were the 356 T1 through 356 T7 designations. Not to mention, of course, the trademark infringement threat that caused the Type 901 to be externally re-designated as the 911.

O Candidato Lisboa, 31 de outubro de 2019 RESUMO A presente dissertação tem como tema “Microcarros Europeus – Design e Mobilidade sustentável”. O principal objetivo deste trabalho traduz-se na construção de uma leitura sistematizada do projeto e implementação de microcarros europeus ao longo do século XX, tendo em vista não só o esclarecimento/definição do próprio conceito, mas também a perceção do seu papel atual e futuro a nível da mobilidade urbana sustentável. Neste sentido, percorrem-se dimensões como o design específico dos veículos, antecessores, autores e empresas envolvidas, assim como o contexto socioeconómico inerente. Como metodologia, realizou-se uma pesquisa exaustiva em fontes bibliográficas e fontes on-line, para além de contactos diretos com colecionadores e especialistas na temática, através de fóruns de debate e participação em encontros e mostras nacionais. Os microcarros consistem em veículos motorizados, que surgiram na Europa após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, num contexto de escassez de recursos económicos, energéticos e de materiais de produção.

  • The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama
    The Secret School of War: The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ian Johnson Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Peter Mansoor David Hoffmann Copyright by Ian Ona Johnson 2012 Abstract This paper explores the period of military cooperation between the Weimar Period German Army (the Reichswehr), and the Soviet Union. Between 1922 and 1933, four facilities were built in Russia by the two governments, where a variety of training and technological exercises were conducted. These facilities were particularly focused on advances in chemical and biological weapons, airplanes and tanks. The most influential of the four facilities was the tank testing and training grounds (Panzertruppenschule in the German) built along the Kama River, near Kazan in North- Central Russia. Led by German instructors, the school’s curriculum was based around lectures, war games, and technological testing. Soviet and German students studied and worked side by side; German officers in fact often wore the Soviet uniform while at the school, to show solidarity with their fellow officers. Among the German alumni of the school were many of the most famous practitioners of mobile warfare during the Second World War, such as Guderian, Manstein, Kleist and Model. This system of education proved highly innovative. During seven years of operation, the school produced a number of extremely important technological and tactical innovations. Among the new technologies were a new tank chassis system, superior guns, and - perhaps most importantly- a radio that could function within a tank.

  • Im Wartburg Von Ost Nach West
    Im Wartburg von Ost nach West Einst Statussymbol des Arbeiter- und Bauernstaates, heute liebenswerter Gast auf Oldie-Treffen – und fit ist er auch noch Von Christoph Gajda Dröhnend schiebt sich die schöne neu asphaltierte Straße unter die Räder, das Summen des stets mitlaufenden Lüfterrades vor dem Kühler steigert sich in ein mitleidiges Heulen und der Dreizylinder- Zweitaktmotor will erst durch seine Drehmomententfaltung im hohen Drehzahlbereich beweisen, dass er in der Lage ist, mich in die viel zu weichen Sitze zu drücken. Gut dass es geradeaus geht, denn Seitenhalt fehlt dem Gestühl gänzlich. Gute Laune dennoch, denn die Technik funktioniert ausnahmsweise pannenfrei und zuverlässig. Einzig die Tatsache dass man noch über tausend Kilometer auszuhalten hat, könnte das perfekte Feeling jetzt noch trüben. Ja, der Balaton ist weit… Doch nix mit Balaton. Von wegen Urlaubsreise mit fernem Ziel und Erholung in Aussicht, wobei der Weg zum Ziel gehört, oder besser gesagt, dass Auto und Fahrer gesund am Ziel ankommen. Die Leute müssen früher wohl doch härter gewesen sein. Für mich heißt es nur, einmal quer durch Deutschland. Von Anhalt, über den Südharz, Thüringen, Hessen ins Rhein-Main-Gebiet. Moment mal! Daran wäre früher überhaupt nicht zu denken gewesen, zumindest nicht in Richtung Ost-West. Von daher bildet meine Reise doch eine kleine Besonderheit. Aus heutiger Sicht betrachtet sogar umso mehr, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich völlig auf Autobahnen verzichte und nach guter alter Sitte ohne Navi die Landstriche durchquere, an deren Straßen sich die wichtigsten Städte wie Perlen an einer Kette aneinander reihen. Der Wagen Wartburg TOURIST, wie sich die Vollheckvariante (auch Kombi genannt) des Wartburg ab 1968 nannte: ein Statussymbol in der DDR.
